Somebody's an end, and somebody's a linebacker, regardless who you put in there. I'll be dropping and rushing, whether we're in a 3-4 defense or a 4-3. That's one thing that factored in my decision to come here. I'm going to get the opportunity to rush the passer, because that's what I love to do.
bring confidence correctly defensive execute field guys hopefully level running
They have a lot of confidence in their running game. It's up to us to bring that confidence to a level of normalcy. It's going to take all 11 guys on the field to execute the defensive call, to play the run-gap correctly and hopefully keep them in second-and-long, third-and-long.

bottom football line people playing start staying weeks
The bottom line is, we are not doing the things we need to do. People aren't making their tackles, staying in their gaps. Now, we have two weeks to start playing football the way we know how to.

It's great to have him back out there moving around and doing things. Hopefully, he can continue to progress. It's great to have him on the practice field. To have him on the game field would be even better.

There's nowhere to go but up from how we performed. This is not how we've performed around here the past couple of years. We've got a tough challenge ahead of us this coming week, we've got to get ready, and we've got to get better.
backward bottom bowl continue forward game line matters people staying step super team
I don't think it matters that we were Super Bowl champions; we always have to come to a game and line up and play. Every team is good. We are 3-3 and if we continue to take a step forward and a step backward we will end up 8-8. . . . The bottom line is we are not doing the things we need to do. People aren't making their tackles, staying in their gaps.
